Highlights from December.....

Here are some of the highlights from December. We were very busy with singing Christmas carols, Christmas plays, primary activities, making cookies and all the fun things December brings!!! It was a great month.

Sydnie had a Christmas play at school. It was so adorable!!! Here is Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Each class had a different part. On the far left were the Christmas trees and next to them are the presents. Here are the reindeer.

Sydnie's class were Santa's elves.

Here is my little elf and her BFF Marin.

Sydnie and the fabulous Mrs. Wason. We LOVE her!!!!!


Peyton got glasses this month. She also has to wear an eye patch 3 days a week. I guess I should say, she's "supposed" to wear an eye patch, we haven't been very good at that part. She is so cute in her new purple glasses!



Here is our naughty little puppy. It was like having a toddler in the house again for Christmas. She kept taking the snowmen off the bottom of the tree and chewing on them. This was taken after she got in trouble one of the many times throughout the month.

Here is one of her victims. She destroyed this one and he couldn't be saved. She chewed off his arm, scarf and ate his snowballs out of his bucket. He could not be revived and ended up in the garbage.....
Here is another one when I caught her in the act. It's a good thing she is so cute!


Grandpa Dan and Grandma Dorothy stopped by to deliver gifts. It was nice to see them on their quick visit to our house.

Peyton got a giant purple "P" to hang in her room. Sydnie got a giant pink "S". Both of them got a fun packet to create all sorts of cards and crafts with gel pens and glitter glue. They were in heaven!!!!


Syd and Grandpa.


Grandma Judy sent a "pre" Christmas package. When we opened it Peyton said it was the biggest "load" ever. It came with lots of fun things. Here were some Littlest Pet Shops.


Sydnie LOVED the light up gummy bugs (gross)!!!!

Silly snowman head bands.


And have you ever seen bubble wrapped cookies? No, neither had I, but leave it to Grandma Judy to come up with it. Really, it was a great way to ship these tasty little treats. All of them arrived safely and they were delicious.




Silly Sydnie with an ornament she was playing with to be a giant bug!


Christmas Eve
Here is Sydnie making cookies for Santa. She loved cutting out the cookies almost as much as she loved eating the dough. :-)

Me an Peyton making cookies. (picture taken by Sydnie)

Peyton's turn to cut out cookies. She was very careful to get as many cookies as she could. Look at all the cookie cutters she is using at once. I think she had 5 or 6 on this round of dough. She also liked to eat the dough. They get that from their mom.

Frosting cookies. Sydnie only frosted about 4 before she was done and then she gave me instructions on how to frost the rest of hers.

Peyton frosted all of hers and then licked the frosting bowls.

The finished products. Sydnie's are on the left and Peyton's are on the right.

New Christmas pajamas.

Two silly girls!!!

Christmas morning......
Peyton with her Club Penguin fairy penguin.

Sydnie got the Sponge Bob operation game. She was so excited.

Jeff bought her Mr. Crab's. She was so happy! Yes, she is OBSESSED with Sponge Bob!!

Peyton took this picture of her very thoughtful gifts for Jeff. They included a magnet and pen that say #1 Dad, a frog that you push the back and it jumps (for when he gets board at work) and a mini green monster truck. She picked out all the gifts at the school holiday gift shop and took the picture herself.

Here is part of the gift Sydnie got from Max. It is a set of nail polish and make up. There were also some princess books and other fun stuff, but the make up was her favorite. Sydnie loves her makeup!
Here is Peyton opening one of her Zhu Zhu pets from Grandma Judy.

Here is the big present for the girls from us this year. They were so excited to get a trampoline.


Jeff picked up a Handy Manny tool belt for Sydnie (she requested tools, so she could fix things). She is the cutest little girl in a tool belt and work gloves!
Sydnie playing with the color explosion from Grandma Vickie and Grandpa Michael and Peyton playing with the Zhu Zhu pet city.

We decided the little white hamster was the sneakiest and the smartest!

Here he is again driving away in his little car. They are so very cute!

We had a wonderful December and Christmas holiday! We hope all of our friends and family near and far had a great season too!
